Fra B the way it evokes everything so subtly and hiddenly and yet makes sure the audience knows what's going on every time... great stuff!

Kieslowski is a master of dreamy camerawork and hypnotic center, and he ultimately ends things in an explosion of light. Because sometimes brighter stars can kill the moonlight, or at least pull it out of focus for a while. And then when you're not looking, it drowns you and swallows everything and everyone surrounding. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Mesmerising, if only for the performance by Grazyna Szapolowska as the widow who moves through the film and ignites every scene. Beautiful and tragic at once she emanates power over the audience and one cannot turn away. I had not realised how much this film must have influenced some established mainstream films that we assume to be original. Obviously many of them owe a great debt to this story. Told unflinchingly by Kieslowski in a unshowy manner it still demonstrates moments of brilliant insights into the human condition. The pain and torture we must endure after such heartache runs through the the heart of this film. I particularly liked the little moments as always, such as the glass slipping through her fingers, the dog trying to get in the car, the dirt on her hands from the bumper whilst witnessing the accident, the hypnotherapy session where she sees him. All simple and yet so elegant. No hammering it through to the audience with big signposting saying 'Remember this for later!'. Why don't more films treat the audience with a tiny bit more intelligence or is the majority of film going to assume we are all thick. And just because a film is mainstream doesn't mean it has to be low brow. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Too talky and uncinematic to hold your attention, unfortunately, though there are certainly some stylish touches and good performances. For Kieslowski completists only. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews
